At the end of the Ming Dynasty, I freely traveled through Yangshen

Chapter 2 Emperor Chongzhen
Qianqing Palace, Dongnuan Pavilion.

Emperor Chongzhen, who has been sitting in this position sincerely for 17 years, is wearing a Yishan crown and a uniform with a coiled collar and narrow sleeves. He is sitting on the throne that symbolizes the [-]th Supreme Being. Although it is late at night outside, it is time to rest, but Emperor Chongzhen is He didn't feel sleepy at all, and his face looked a little haggard.

The news of arriving in the capital in the past few days has spread widely. The intruder Li Zicheng unexpectedly proclaimed himself emperor in Xi'an on the first day of the first lunar month. The country was named Dashun, and the 17th year of Chongzhen was regarded as the first year of Yongchang.

The bandits have already proclaimed themselves emperor and are on the verge of seizing control of the Central Plains. Sun Chuanting has already died in the battle when the bandits captured Tongguan in October of the 16th year of Chongzhen. They are currently sharpening their troops and planning to take the capital directly.

"With the addition of Shunzhi, who is a traitor to the Chou, two more people have become emperors."

Emperor Chongzhen's face was ugly. He couldn't feel better after looking at the recent failure of Tongbao. Although the Spring Festival would be in about ten days, the strong New Year flavor was no longer in Beijing. There is only a sense of depression from the inside out.

"Your Majesty, you are still young. You can leave the green hills without worrying about firewood. Why don't we go back to our hometown in Fengyang in the south now? If Li Thief is allowed to surround Beijing, it will be too late to leave by then."

The speaker was a beautiful woman wearing a plain armor, plain make-up, and a face slightly creased by the years. There was a little sigh in her voice at the moment, a little timid in her expression, and she obviously understood. The posture of the three emperors competing for the Central Plains vigorously, as a woman like her, she can see that Ming Dynasty is weak, so it is better to settle for the second best.

This beautiful woman is Empress Zhou, the official wife of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, and also the biological mother of Zhu Cihong, the original owner of Zhu Dafu's body.During the day today, she and Mrs. Zhang stayed beside the sleepy Zhu Cihong until it was getting dark, and then she was called by Emperor Chongzhen to attend the bed in the Qianqing Palace.

Looking at the word "sleeping", I thought that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to rest for a while, but in fact, Emperor Chongzhen had already been exhausted from handling state affairs. How could he have more thoughts and ask Queen Zhou to come? He still sought a soul with Queen Zhou. Just trust me, someone you can talk to with confidence.

Listening to the words of Empress Zhou, his wife who had been married to him for many years, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly felt a chill in his hands and feet, and felt the trembling caused by the sudden cold in his neck and other exposed areas. He said, "If there is someone in the court, Most of the courtiers can praise me, so I have moved south a long time ago. Unfortunately, these courtiers are all colluding and do not want to bear the infamy of the minister who moved south. And now that the intruder has proclaimed himself emperor in Xi'an, now I am mentioning it again The move to the south is unavoidably suspected of being willing to do the Southern Song Dynasty."

Nowadays, the atmosphere in the court is delicate, and several cabinet ministers are unwilling to bear the eternal infamy of ministers who moved south.

These people all know that in the 17th year of the Three Emperors' reign, Chongzhen agreed to move to the south. From now on, what will be left in the history books is the reputation of the Southern Song Dynasty. Once the Ming Dynasty chose to settle down, it lost the title of leader of the Central Plains Communist Party in the competition for the world. The situation turned into the Southern Song Dynasty, which had a bad reputation in history and was ridiculed by others.

Therefore, although these people knew that the capital of the Ming Dynasty was about to be surrounded by intruders, they did not choose to agree to move south. Apparently they still had some illusions about the Ming Dynasty, but more of it was business and stance. These courtiers in Beijing were in Beijing The gold and silver in the city can be regarded as treasures. Even if the city of Beijing is destroyed, these people can still buy and sell with money.

In the eyes of these people, there is no benefit in moving south. If Beijing is not destroyed, they will still be nobles. If Beijing is destroyed, they can use their money to sell their lives. They are nothing more than the emperor and the courtiers. They will still have to govern the world in the future. The unlucky one is Zhu. Just family.

After thinking about everything, Chongzhen felt unspeakably sad. He looked at his married wife, who had been following him in Prince Xin's palace until now. In the dim light, Queen Zhou's red and swollen eyes were still there. Unable to be buried by candlelight, knowing that the Empress Zhou is in love with the scene today and the prince is ill must be washed with tears.

His nose felt sore, and an itchy feeling in his nasal cavity was brewing. Emperor Chongzhen tilted his head slightly, suppressed his slightly trembling voice, and changed the subject, "Brother Chun, are you feeling better today?"

Brother Chun is Zhu Cixiang's nickname. He inherited the good genes of the old Zhu family. He has always been in good health since childhood, but today he suddenly couldn't sleep. This made Chongzhen and Empress Zhou worried. Chongzhen was also their beloved son. He was eager, but couldn't get away because of important national affairs, so he asked Empress Zhou and Empress Zhang to take care of him. "The doctor Zeng looked at him and said that Brother Chun is in good health and there should be no symptoms."

Empress Zhou frowned slightly, "But she couldn't wake up... she was just mumbling about martial arts and immortality. It's impossible to say that some immortal was entrusting her with a dream."

"Immortal entrusting you with a dream? What a joke!" Emperor Chongzhen looked disgusted. "Now is the time when the Ming Dynasty is in a rough and turbulent state. It is in this kind of weather that young people like ghosts, ghosts, snakes, gods, and Xiaoxiao take the opportunity to land. Could it be that this once-miracle doctor also wanted to use the fish belly to store books and have strange powers? Chaos God, how brave you are!”

"This is indeed what Brother Chun said, but it has little to do with the miracle doctor Zeng." Empress Zhou was angry, "If there really is such a magical way in the world, it can save our Ming Dynasty from fire and water, even if it is like the Journey to the West." It's usually weird and bizarre, but the three great immortals control the court in Che Chi country, but it's better than the current situation."

At this time of the Ming Dynasty, Journey to the West of the Jiajing Dynasty had already become a household name. As the merchants of the Ming Dynasty spread it to countless surrounding vassal states, Emperor Chongzhen had also read this book in Prince Xin's Mansion. Of course he knew what Empress Zhou said. What is.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen also sighed, as if he really hoped for a transcendent immortal figure to save the Ming Dynasty from the fire and water.

At this moment, the door of Dongnuan Pavilion was pushed open suddenly. A eunuch in his 50s with a red robe and an arched hat, a kind face, and a man who knew his destiny at a young age strode over. When he saw Emperor Chongzhen looking at him, Looking at himself, he quickly saluted, with a look of joy on his face that was different from the sad looks of the two people present, and said, "Your Majesty, Li Jizhou from Donggongdian Pharmacy has come to report that the prince is awake."

When she heard that her beloved son had woken up, Empress Zhou immediately stood up and said to Emperor Chongzhen, "Long live, I'll go see Brother Chun."

But at this time, Emperor Chongzhen also asked the eunuch who came to report, "What is the specific situation? Is it favored by Dr. Zeng?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Qiu Zhizhong said that he had already been examined by Dr. Zeng. The prince is fine and is having dinner after he got up."

"It seems that this miraculous doctor has indeed rejuvenated his body, but I have misunderstood him."

Emperor Chongzhen then turned around and looked at Empress Zhou, "It's getting late. Since Brother Chun is in good health, let him have a good rest. If we go tomorrow, you can go back and rest early, so you don't have to be so bumpy. .”

Then Emperor Chongzhen said to the 50-year-old chamberlain, "Wang Banban, I will let you go and have a look. If anything happens, arrange for someone to send a message immediately."
